Space Frame Construction - The use of high tech materials to construct buildings which enclose large areas without internal support; tension and elasticity are the principles mostly involved.
The configuration of this structure is something of a truss, space frame or planar frame. The location of an awning on a building is either above a window, a door, or above the area along a sidewalk.
This led to the development of space frames, which are simply trusses or other elements deployed three-dimensionally.
